    Default Officially Sleeved!

    Well I did it! Had my sleeve done June 24th!! I'm feeling pretty good for me being 2 days post OP. I do have a question...my vision has been so blurry! Is this a side effect from anesthesia?

    Congratulations! I believe it is a side effect. I'm two weeks post op today and had blurry vision even with my glasses on for a few days.

    Congrats on your surgery.
    Can't help with the eyesight question. If you are at all worried about anything please phone your surgeons office - they are there to help.

    I would ask your doctor about the vision, I haven't heard that one.

    The blurry vision is a side effect of some of the anti-nausea medications that are used. If you had the scopolamine patch (little disc behind your ear), that causes massively blurred vision, even for 1 day or two after you take it off. (That is what they used for me). Medications in that same class of drugs will cause blurred vision. Call your doctor if it continues.
